About the Hosts

Luke Menzel

Luke leans into his obsessions; as CEO of the Energy Efficiency Council and host of the First Fuel podcast he gets to bang on about the role of efficiency, electrification and flex in Australia's energy transition. And as co-host of LMSU, he spends his spare time continuing to talk about all that, plus everything else that's going on in climate and energy.

At the time of writing Luke's attempts to get Frankie and Tennant to start one or more LMSU spinoff podcasts focused on movies, TV shows, board games, video games and/or Lego have been unsuccessful.

Frankie Muskovic

Frankie is a longtime climate and buildings policy wonk and leads the national policy agenda for the Property Council of Australia. Get her talking about home efficiency and electrification and there’s really no stopping her; indeed she said yes to doing a podcast with Luke and Tennant to spare her family yet more climate chat at the dinner table.

Always ambitious, Frankie has seized the mantle of LMSU Global Vice President for Marketing and Extortion and is executing a grandiose plan for world domination, one T-shirt at a time.

Tennant Reed

By day, Tennant is climate and energy guy for the Australian Industry Group. By night, he is a podcast co-host, a role-playing game moderator and an enthusiastic cook.

At all times, a tireless carbon border adjustment enthusiast and dodgy spreadsheet wrangler!
